Re: [tgf] Complementary standards for multi-stakeholders service delivery and citizen engagement
hi John,

      

      I forgot about the Policy Product Matrix element in the TGF, the
      intent for me to bring up those  items were indeed not to add
      additional standards to the TGF primer itself  but to provide
      tools to help realize the vision.   i.e. Transformation is going
      to be a long running process with many stakeholders involved, the
      more tools to help produce standardized artifacts along the way
      the better it is to repeat the processes and to retain/share
      knowledge as we progress.

      

      A quick click thru at the policy product wiki, it  appears the
      primary focus is to  inventory what policies are used today.  It
      is a necessary step but not sure how exactly the analysis tools
      will fit in there, thou. 

      

      re  you other question about whether there is any similar work
      exist,  I suspect there is none. The work is done in the OMG
      Business Model Integration task force, so the nature of the group
      is to harmonize of what exist in the industry and fill n the gaps
      of what needs to be developed.  The BMI folks are more looking for
      TGF as a use case to support broader adoption of OMG standards, I
      think it is an opportunity to consider additional resources that
      can help the realization of TGF, especially OMG has strong US gov.
      presence.

      

      perhaps we can help to focus the discussion of this thread by
      figuring out how do we populate this use case page https://wiki.oasis-open.org/tgf/Use%20Cases  
      i.e. how one would use the current TGF artifacts and how one would
      go about the analysis process to develop the business case for
      transformation and  to develop the roadmap for transformation with
      multi-stakeholders involvement etc.

I must confess
            I haven’t done a deep dive into each of these standards yet
            but at first glance they seem more like a set of tools and
            techniques that can assist in the deployment of a TGF
            programme.  To that end it would seem more of a case of
            referencing them in the Policy Product Matrix and maybe the
            TGF Primer rather than adding to or creating new TGF
            Patterns.  But before we go down that route we should be
            certain that there are no similar or competing standards
            that we should give due consideration to.  Do you have any
            knowledge or views on that please?

        
Views on this
            from other TC colleagues would be appreciated please.

                Subject: [tgf] Complementary standards for
                multi-stakeholders service delivery and citizen
                engagement

          

        

        
 

        
Dear
          all,

        
On
          the last TC call, I mentioned that there are a few standards
          from the Object Management Group might be useful to facilitate
          the analysis and simulation of the complex problem space that
          the TGF is addressing.   

        
I’m
          providing a short intro of those items here, will be happy to
          arrange a few conference calls/webinars with domain experts
          from the OMG to explore the topics further with the TC. 

        
SBVR:
             Semantic of Business Vocabularies and Business Rules

        
          
It is intended
              to capture the semantics of business concepts and
              relationships with support for natural-language-like
            declarative _expression_ of
              business rules of a complex entity, such as a business. 
              It includes the ability to express the concepts and rules
              in multiple vocabularies (i.e., multiple languages).
            This is an existing spec. a high level descriptions can be
            found at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics_of_Business_Vocabulary_and_Business_Rules

        
        
          
Relevance to TGF: We need to examine
            whether the current TGF Pattern Language spec. can be
            enhanced with SBVR.  This will allow instance of
            requirements/concepts to be translated and managed at
            regional level at the same time keeping the coherence at the
            state/government level using modeling and relationship
            techniques.

        
        
          
The specification is available here: http://www.omg.org/spec/SBVR/1.0/index.htm

        
        

            VDML: Value Delivery Modeling Language

        
          
This is a work in progress in the OMG
            (potential adoption in early 2013).  The heart of this work
            is to support Business Design and Innovation Management
            driven by the creation and exchange of value.  It fills the
            gap between business models (e.g., Osterwalder) and business
            process management. 

          
Relevance to TGF: This systematic
            modeling approach is essential for virtualized service
            delivery and franchising business model with citizen
            engagement as envisioned by the TGF

          
This blog post on “Outside-in Business
            Architecture” provides some insights to the work http://fredacummins.blogspot.com/2012/01/outside-in-business-architecture-with.html

        
        

            CMMN: Case Management Model and Notation

        
          
This is a work in progress in the OMG
            (potential adoption in early 2013).  The specification
            defines a language for modeling of elements of a type of
            case (e.g., tasks, stages, events, constraints,…) to support
            adaptive planning, decision-making, collaboration and
            coordination on individual cases.

          
Relevance to TGF: From a whole
            government perspective, services to citizens and other
            stakeholders often require ad-hoc coordination and
            collaboration that crosses organizational boundaries and
            engages shared services.   For every transformational
            project that is going to carry out in a “virtual
            organization” fashion, similar governance and organization
            process/structures are required  as one would expect from a
            single enterprise environment.

          
This type of work environment is already seen
            for projects like “Healthy cities” yet lack of a structure
            for effective community engagement. Here is another blog
            post that provides a high level view: http://fredacummins.blogspot.com/2011/07/knowledge-worker-cockpit.html

        
        

          Please note all of the above specifications are geared for
          business/strategy thinkers to clearly model the desired
          business/benefits first so that appropriate technology and who
          they should be sourced from can be assessed in a much more
          holistic manner in order to meet the business/citizen benefits
          that are envisioned. 

        
I’m
          interested to get your feedback on my assessment of their
          relevance to the TGF effort.

        
Regards,

          Jenny
